He continued: “I don’t know if it was a burglary because it just feels personal. Our industry is filled with jealousy … but I don’t know. It’s confusing. He was kind, soft, a gentle soul with few friends”.

The love you had for your daughter was commendable. You were a present Father I pray I never find the people that did this to you coz I don’t know what I will do. It’s emotionally, mentally, physically draining to write RIP every week. I am NOT okay @siyasesimani #RIPSiyaSesimani pic.twitter.com/zy2VZYQvH1
